Subset of the kent source libraries (perhaps out of date) that are easily built and installed on OSX and Linux. These libraries provide usefull utilities for bioinformatics programming in C. This may contain some of my own libraries for bioinformatics utilities as well as long as they install easily on both my mac and linux box.

README

        
Works by compiling object files for the library, 

and then archiving them into jkweb.a. You can then

use these libs in your other programs by linking to

libkent.a and including the headers in the 'inc' folder.

I am currently working on adding support for building

shared libraries.

==Install Instructions==

0.0. If you have a ppc or alpha processor, then you

may need to change the line in the Makefile

that says MACHTYPE=x86_64. As of now 'ppc' and

'alpha' are the only two processor types that

are defined with any special meaning in this subset.

To quickly check whether or not this is still true

just run: `grep -R -i "MACHTYPE" *` and ignore the result

from the Makefile itself. If your processor is listed

in one of the lines, you should probably change the

MACHTYPE= line to reflect your processor type.

0.1. If you want to use a different compiler than gcc

you will need to change the CC=gcc line in the

Makefile. You may also need to change the compiler flags.

1. run `make`

2. done

*** TEXT FROM ORIGINAL KENT SOURCE LIB README ***

This directory contains general purpose, web oriented,

and computational biology oriented modules,  as well

as some less general stuff associated with the Intronerator

web site.  Initially this library was created by Jim

Kent from 1999 to 2001.  Since then other programmers have

also added to it.  Jim continues to make substantial

contributions.

With the exception of the gifcomp.c module, all 

modules here are free for all use - public, private,

or commercial. The gifcomp.c module contains code

originally distributed by CompuServe under a similar

"free for all" license.  However this uses the LZW

patented by UniSys, which UniSys started enforcing

several years after CompuServe released this module.

The last I heard UniSys did not require a license

for non-commercial purposes, but did require a

license for commercial purposes. This may change

in the future, though the patent is nearing it's

expiration date in any case.  Commercial users

are advised to either get a license for LZW, or

to switch from GIF to PNG.
